The percentage of it happening is low, but it does happen. There was alot of it happening around the 1 year anny of 9/11 apparently. The safest way to use UPS is by "Ground". I doubt that any of those parcels get x-rayed ever since they never get put onto any of their planes. The only problem with that route is the astronomical amount of different hands you parcel has to go through in order to reach its' destination, and it can take up to 5 biz days, depending on your location in refference to the sender.

Not true bro. That's a blanket statement that is going to give this dude the wrong idea brother. They do do it. I know a guy who had a major domestic seizure this past 9/11 with UPS. However, it is rare that it happens.

I currently work there, and I have never seen anything x-rayed, not even in our next day air/int'l processing area. If your shit got seized/inspected, what probably happened is that it broke open (this happens A LOT) or that it was leaking. All leacking package have to be opened and re-packed, and if you have illegal shit in there guess what--ur busted.

That was apparently the case brother. Personally, I know of noone else with similar problems with UPS. They are usually quite reliable, and I actually like them better than the USPS, for the reason that they update their trackings online alot more frequently. You know exactly where that pacakge is and if there is any problems. As far as them not needing a search warrant to open packages...that is 100% TOTALLY irrelevant if a package is suspected of having drugs. These guys who say that the USPS is better than these other two Companies BECAUSE of this fact are kidding themselves imo. If a USPS Package is suspected of containing drugs, they will get a search warrent--NO PROBLEMS! The only difference in this case between the two is the amount of time and paperwork it takes before your goods get snagged. Search Warrents are quite easy to come by, and if one is needed, one will be got.
